Proverbs 12:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ A person who is ·not important [belittled; of low regard; ordinary] but has a servant is better off
than someone who ·acts [or is thought] ·important [honorable] but has no food.

¹⁰ ·Good [Righteous] people ·take care [^Lknow the desires] of their animals,
but even the ·kindest [most compassionate] acts of the wicked are cruel.

¹¹ Those who work their land will have plenty of food,
but the one who chases ·empty dreams [emptiness] ·is not wise [lacks sense/heart].
